COMMUNITY-WIDE TRAIL

An integrated system of greenway trails runs along several creeks, utility easements and publicly owned property just north of downtown Kennesaw. Trail surfaces vary from concrete sidewalks and crushed stone to mulch and bare earth; and are ideal for walking, running and biking. Benches, bridges, dog waste pick-up stations, trash receptacles, and numbered trail markers can be found along the trail.

RULES FOR DOGS IN THE PARKS

When they’re not playing in the Frank Boone Dog Park, dogs are welcome nearly everywhere outside on city property. Just please keep in mind the following guidelines. • Pick up after your dog, and properly dispose of waste. • Keep your dog on a leash. Dogs are required to be on an appropriate chain, leash or tie not exceeding 6 feet in length, and in the hands of a person who possesses the ability to restrain and control the dog. Voice control does not constitute control. Dogs aren’t permitted inside playgrounds, picnic pavilions, or ball fields. • Don’t leave your dog inside a parked vehicle when temperatures inside the vehicle may adversely affect the dog’s health and welfare. • Hydrate yourself and your dog.
